Using adsorbents to help society

Futurum

“Adsorption is a common process in our everyday lives,” says Dr Yamil Colón, based at the University of Notre Dame’s College of Engineering. Chemical and biomolecular engineers solve some of the world’s most urgent problems by applying techniques from engineering, biochemistry, cell biology and organic chemistry at the molecular level.

Imaging the invisible: how can research software and imaging techniques help scientists study the things we can’t see?

Futurum

Scientific model — a conceptual or mathematical representation of a real-world phenomenon that allows scientists to study the phenomenon in more detail. Scientists can now turn their theories into mathematical models, which can then be expressed in software as simulations. Chemical engineering with Professor Sven Schroeder.

How are control engineers improving the sustainability of irrigated agriculture?

Futurum

The team avoids the possible pitfalls of feedback by using mathematical models to inform the design of the compensators for each pool. If you are interested in the biomedical applications of control engineering, it will be useful to study chemistry and biology. • What inspired you to become an engineer?
